Participants will gain more detailed expertise in editing proposals and strategies to appeal to funders. If you would like some feedback from Gail and your colleagues, please bring drafts or a rejected proposal with you (both the text and the directions if possible). The group will collaborate and discuss strategies to improve the likelihood of successful submissions.
